Adult animation started earlier in our century with the advent of the "moving picture". Since that time cartoons have captivated us. From children to adults, everyone loves cartoons at some point in our lives. In the 1920s we had various companies making cartoons. Later on in the 1960s Japanese animation came into its own and has continually increased in popularity and scope for the last three decades.
We will bring you several categories of animation. Anime (including Hentai), and XToons represent the two major categories of adult cartoons present today.

There are several forms of Japanese art represented in our directory. Anime, being the first, is simply Japanese animation. Manga, the second, is Japanese comics. Hentai is the latest incarnation and represents the "perverted" side of anime and manga.
Anime came into being in the 1960s as the animated portion of manga (comic books). Most of the adult anime is derived from game companies, while manga is generated from several major publishing firms. Doujinshi (amateur) anime comes from independent artists who love to draw anime/manga.
Our categories will deal generally with these forms of Japanese art and bring you sites that comply with ODP guidelines.
